I am looking at RT Jfk-Helsinki-Jfk. Direct on Finnair about 450€. If I buy the very same ticket Jfk-Stockholm-Jfk, it comes to about 250€. The kicker is, it is the same flight from here to Helsinki, then a plane change and another leg to Stockholm. Coming back again an hour flight from Stockholm to Helsinki and the same Finnair flight back to the US.
I could possibly get off in Helsinki but there is no way I could get on in Helsinki, right?
It drives me crazy to pay extra $200+ for NOT continuing to Stockholm!!!

Meh. After seeing this I’m still home - dinner needs to be cooked, laundry is waiting to be washed, carpets need vacuuming and the cat is hungry. So, no, it’s not a vacation.
